This paper reviews recent advancements in all-optical memory components, particularly
focusing on various types of all-optical flip-flops (FFs) based on photonic crystal (PC) …

Gate diffusion input (GDI)-a new technique of low-power digital combinatorial circuit design-
is described. This technique allows reducing power consumption, propagation delay, and …

The new theory of compressive sensing enables direct analog-to-information conversion of
compressible signals at sub-Nyquist acquisition rates. We develop new theory, algorithms …

Design and experimental evaluation of a new sense-amplifier-based flip-flop (SAFF) is
presented. It was found that the main speed bottleneck of existing SAFF's is the cross …

A circuit includes an input stage, an output stage, and a delay stage. The input stage is
operative to receive a clock signal and a first and second input signal. The output stage is …

In this paper, high-performance flip-flops are analyzed and classified into two categories: the
conditional precharge and the conditional capture technologies. This classification is based …

This paper describes a family of novel low-power flip-flops, collectively called conditional-
capture flip-flops (CCFFs). They achieve statistical power reduction by eliminating redundant …

Microprocessor clock frequency has improved by nearly 40% annually over the past decade.
This improvement has been provided, in equal measure, by smaller technologies and …

Provides the only up-to-date source on the most recent advances in this often complex and
fascinating topic. The only book to be entirely devoted to clocking Clocking has become one …

This paper develops a methodology for selecting and optimizing flip-flops for low-energy
systems with constant throughput. Characterization metrics, relevant to low-energy systems …
